1. really, how important is
arne ,   chicago usa   (04.22.13)
this guy and what if anything does it mean for Israel? can Israel survive a boycott of this magnitude? I certainly hope so.
2. Roger Waters
Sruly ,   Israel   (04.22.13)
Mr. Waters if you are so right and have a complete understanding of this very complex situation I would respectfully request that you use your impressive connection to ask Abbas (a terrorist by the name Abu Mazen) to come to the table and talk. I know that BIBI would sit at any moment to have a real conversation about the 2 state solution and peace. If by some chance you are not able to pick up a phone and call Abbas to help the situation then keep your dumb mouth shut!
3. hay buddy
(04.22.13)
you are insignificant and so is your lousy music. no one pays attention to you. stick to lousy music and be done with it. what does anyone care about what you have to say, it is redundant and boring. you are a has been.
4. 'I was mis-interpreted' says Waters
Tim ,   Brighton   (04.22.13)
I haven't a clue what Waters is babbling on about now... More importantly does he? The overblown 'has been' whos loving the self important 'limelight' who claims ('many of my friends are Jewish!') still believes his 'fellow musicians' will 'respectfully' succumb to his every whim? Trouble is most of them KNOW now his demented diatribes are totally one sided...and whilst MOST Israelis want to see a Settlement - Waters conveniently omits to address anything of Israels concerns about her security or indeed the PAs continued incitement and impossible demands Waters is best left to grow old..disgracefully
5. Does it look like I give a s--t
Danielle ,   Raanana   (04.22.13)
6. This dinosaur doesnt have much influence on todays musicians
Scott ,   Ramat Gan, Israel   (04.22.13)
7. Roger Waters
Cheryl ,   Chicago, IL   (04.22.13)
You're crazier than Syd Barrett.
8. To my fellow Jews
Rick ,   USA   (04.23.13)
"To my fellow Jews: Please join me in a cultural boycott of Roger waters until such time as the gentleman ceases his hypocritical and biased stance on the Israeli-Palestinian matter and reverses his ill conceived position, which, it is widely agreed, constitute insurmountable impediments to any peaceful solution for either the Palestinian or the Israeli people."
9. translation for his simpler-minded islamist followers:
HaifaGuy   (04.22.13)
"Not to worry, my fellow antisemitic vermin, I still hate the Jews."
10. Thanks for clearing this up
Shimon ,   Poleg   (04.22.13)
We in Israel really appreciate you clearing up this misunderstanding. It's been hard to sleep for the last few days while we were unsure of your position on the boycott of our country. Now we know where you stand we can go back to not really knowing or caring who the hell you are!
11. It's good to talk unless
Get Real ,   UK   (04.22.13)
you are Roger Waters talking to the H.Post. So why doesn't he ask Abbas to return to the peace talks? and without pre-conditions. Lot of hot air and blowing his own trumpet for nothing.
12. irrelevant
Real vision ,   usa   (04.23.13)
his opinion means nothing and he surely does not understanding the mid east situation
13. Not this jackass again......
Jarred Sloane ,   London UK   (04.23.13)
Why are we even mentioning this attention seeker,he is nothing, just a has been musician who is shit stirring.He must be off his meds,..These has beens brains are so addled by all the substances that they have taking for so long,we need to ignore them.We are giving this Jackass too much publicity.
14. And I'll still never listen to PF again!
Cory ,   Canada   (04.23.13)
15. how important
daniela ,   panama   (04.23.13)
is for us to know what this guy wants? to boycot or not to boycot Israel... does this changes something reagrding to what Israel have to do or to be? An old musician ideas??? I would suggest you find better news.
16. Roger Waters
al ,   us   (04.23.13)
Mr. Waters call to boycut Israel is the right one. The Palestinians have been negotiating for 20 years and during the same period the sttlement count have increased from 100K to 500K. This shows that Israel has bad intentions and is not interested in peace or two state solution. Israel hold all the cards and the Palestinians are the weaker party, the only thing they can do is to stop this sharade until people of concious around the world, like Mr. Rogers mobilize a campain of boycut until the Israelis come to their senses, Just like the South Africans did.
17. Who??
Sidney ,   USA   (04.23.13)
It may be a generational thing but I never heard of this guy until Ynet gave him so much publicity. Who the h*ll cares whether he hates Israel?
18. 'still calling for Israel boycott'
jacques ,   nsw   (04.23.13)
who gives a damn about a pom!
19. rogers,
(04.23.13)
read our lips here in the usa.... we don't give a damn about what you thin, what you say or your intoxicated ramblings. you were always a druggy alcoholic fool and still are.
20. Waters
Dallas ,   Canada   (04.23.13)
If he knows the first thing about the issue he might want to get his message to the Palestine Liberation Organization and discuss with them why their intention is and never has been to live in peace with Israel. A meeting with Hamas, the more popular organization than the PLO, would also be in order. Then and only then might he be able to make sense of the issue.
21. #7 lmao
ERIC ,   NYC   (04.23.13)
22. On a scale of 1-10 he's a 2 maybe- forget him!
Michael Redbourn ,   Arad Israel   (04.23.13)
23. ROGER (IDIOT) WATERS
(04.23.13)
24. Waters is muddied .
Tom M ,   Toronto   (04.23.13)
I am boycotting all things PinkFloyd .
25. Who cares what an over the hill rocker thinks
Ron ,   OC US   (04.23.13)
I buy Blue and White every chance I get. An Israeli made tool box and I can only hope that it was made on the west bank.
26. And we care, why?
john   (04.23.13)
Who cares what he has to say or write. He's another naive individual, ignorant of history, but full of personal political opinion that he is more than ready to smother people with. FYI - Bruce Springsteen, Madonna, Lady Gaga, Red Hot Chilli Peppers, and many more are coming to play here. Metallica will also be back.
27. For Roger Waters Not To Talk Is The Only Option......
Jarred Sloane ,   London UK   (04.23.13)
Roger Waters should zip his mouth shut tight,he is in no position to talk,he hasn't the mental capacity or the knowledge to discuss the ME,he is biased because of his blinding ignorance on the subject...He should go and buy a rocking chair and twiddle his thumbs..... Roger you are way over your head here.Piss Off............
28. Waters is a vicious anti-Semite.
Reuven   (04.23.13)
29. Stupid old man
Dov ,   USA   (04.23.13)
30. and I am still hoping Roger Waters dies
k ,   US   (04.23.13)
Let's all hope it happens sooner then later, when he is dead the world will be a better place
